Waxman Laughs Off Boehner's Demand for Apology

After House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) called Rep. Henry Waxman's gavel-banging outburst "outrageous threats and intimidation" and demanded an apology, the diminutive Waxman laughed and had this to say: "Just look at me," he said. "How can you not quake in my presence?"

Dontcha love it when a Dem actually demonstrates vertebral integrity?

I'd like Henry a lot more if he weren't bought and paid for by Hollywood and the RIAA. And he's being disingenuous about people quaking in his presence - he's one of the most feared politicos around.

But he's one of our most effective Reps, and he does display that vertebral integrity more often than most Dems.

So, yeah, Go Henry Go!

I watched this charade and thoroughly enjoyed it...although I wished Waxman had smashed the gavel down on Issa's empty head.

And the whining of the Repubs that the Dems are being meanies is absolutely comical after the way the Repubs treated the minority during their tyrannical rule...

I need to move back into Henry's District.

Berman is a bust . . .

A friend of mine affectionately refers to Waxman as "The Mustache of Justice."

No matter what you call him, Henry has his head on straight and his priorities in order.

Geez, will boner ever stop crying?
